  1. But bringing in Ferrari is a great way to get rid of Bono the moment the inevitable blowup happens.
  2. Captain Full of Crap strikes again. For all we know, "family" could mean someone on twitter who claims to be Ryder's uncle 7x removed and twice divorced. And of course when this randomly gets deleted it's like it never happened!
  3. It may cost pro dreams, but it also may help them. He has three years of wrestling left and he will also be able to use 2025 as a medical RS for football leaving him with three years over there too. His trap will be senior wrestling season - he can't play spring ball if he wrestles, and if he wants to have any shot whatsoever at the NFL then he will need to dedicate whatever time he has left. It seems very unfair to punish the very rare athlete of his caliber with the sport restrictions. Once again, death to the NCAA.

  4. If Zain Retherford comes out of retirement for the second time does he get the Gable Steveson treatment where people say they are tired of his act after making the decision to walk away from a world championship to pursue a high paying career opportunity, only to return to wrestling, then walk away again, only to return again? Just asking for a friend.
  5. Spotted Cow is great but a pack of Moon Mans is where it's at
  6. You have to go to Indiana if you want the top secret Iran scoop
  7. Would you dump greco if it meant ten MFS and ten WFS weights?
  8. Carl must hate Paycom so much. First it poached his golden goose and now they're bringing back the national duals with big baller financial prizes.
  9. Only if they can guarantee reviews will be 25 minutes or less though. I would be curious to know the average number of bricks thrown per match and the average review time. I'm sure either UWW has this, or at least N3xt Sports has been tracking since partnering with UWW. Next logical step is to introduce a better number of mats per venue per day to combat unused mat time spent on reviews.
  10. All while indulging in the sniffing of one's own farts
  11. Brooks better be scared to bump up. He only gets his underhooks from one deity but Yoshida gets his underhooks from Buddha AND Allah. 2 gods > 1 the math speaks for itself
  12. Additionally, for weights without a Final X medalist the US Open champ is not allowed to also enter World Team Trials.
  13. We have been over this for weeks. His nickname is Lieutenant Farva why is this so complicated people.
  14. Under those circumstances, Bo would surely give his Hodge to Nolf he was clearly a better pure wrestler right? When Bo was trying to shake hands and play pat-ass Nolf was throwing Winn-Dixies innovating the sport.
  15. Plot twist: Haines goes 184 and Welsh goes 197
  16. As a millienial, I saw it coming the moment all the Gen X and Boomer parents started making those participation trophies for all my kids club tournaments recognizing my great accomplishment of taking 6th in a 6 person bracket.
  17. Current and future Iowa transfers obviously
  18. US Open is wrestled first and each winner gets a spot at Final X. WTT will be second and only compete in the following weights, with the winner getting the second Final X spot due to lack of olympic/world medalist: 65 70 79 92 [likely given Taylor's retirement] 97 125 It's the same schedule as since Final X was introduced. Olympic Team Trials is the anomaly every fourth year.
  19. Returning olympic/UWW medalists get a bye to Final X if they choose to stay at their weight. US Open champions get a spot at Final X. World Team Trials will only have weights where a returning medalist does not accept their Final X spot at the weight in which they medaled. Think of WTT as Last Chance. The US Open has had its prominence restored. WTT on the other hand now gets wrestled in a high school gym so that's frustrating but a different conversation for a different day. https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blteb7d012fc7ebef7f/blt051b85245c89683d/674106c19325fc8037f74f2d/2025_MFS_World_Team_Trials.pdf Last year was a very down year for the US. Only five returning medalists - one is retired (Taylor) and there is no guarantee that Brooks (or maybe Dake?) can hold their olympic weight. It is also very weird to not see Kyle Snyder's name on this list. 57 Spencer Lee 61 Vito Arujau 65 70 74 Kyle Dake 79 86 Aaron Brooks 92 David Taylor 97 125
  20. Once is luck, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. The first was Snyder, the second was making Asians champs finals, the third time was beating 2023 92kg world champ Aitmhukhan (who won as a junior!!) - that bracket also had 2023 92kg junior world champ Azimi from Iran take third [lost to Autmhukhan in semis].
  21. I think?? I like this. It's very frustrating to see the eye-test superior wrestler holding center and taking shots get put on the clock and in a hole down a point in the first period with a wink and nod "you want to get the criteria point next period." That's obviously not always the case, but happens rather often. I believe this will create action both periods, especially knowing that the first point is now solidified in all ways as the most important point. The aggressor at the beginning will be rewarded, and the person behind in the second will force action rather than wait for their turn to get a clock point. Should create more action and multiple action sequences. Curious to see how it plays out, and also if it is a good rule for GR and FS or just one discipline.
  22. CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (March 28) -- United World Wrestling Technical Commission has approved the testing of a Greco-Roman rule change at the European Championships next month. According to the new rule in Greco-Roman, in case a bout ends 1-1, victory will be awarded to the wrestler who scored the first point. This modification will be implemented exclusively in Greco-Roman and will apply only to matches that end in a 1-1 tie. The change, which is only being tested, was approved after the new UWW Technical Commission reviewed the current regulations. It unanimously acknowledged that the existing rule, which awards victory to the athlete who scores the last point, may unintentionally encourage passivity at the start of the bout. Following the discussions, the Commission agreed to test the proposed change of awarding victory to the wrestler who scores the first point during the 2025 Senior European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia to be held from April 7-13. Additional senior Continental Championships or international tournaments may also be selected for further testing. United World Wrestling will provide updates should additional test events be required. https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships
  23. Does Iran have world champs on deck? Really? Yes. The answer is always yes. The only question is how many and are we talking UWW weights or Olympic weights? Because the answer is still yes.
  24. Don't tread on first amendment rights. That is all. I could have sworn that Bob Dole and his party ran on the platform of free speech, small government, and pro-community. Launching nukes ain't right unless I missed something over the last few hours between world powers.
  25. Don't make a 33% succes rate joke, don't make a 33% success rate joke, don't make...
